Long Term TTC & Assisted Conception - June 2007 #3

[sushee]

BW I know I don't have any doubts how much you deserve this, my sweet, after all you've been through. As does anyone who needs help to conceive, whether first go or fiftieth, it's all difficult, do we really want to sweat on how difficult it was from one person to the next?

I had 8 cycles, and only ever had 1 cancelled. My cousin has had 3 cycles, 2 cancelled, and I don't know that it hasn't been harder on her actually. How would I know? I've only ever had my experiences. Don't let anyone make you feel guilty for achieveing what you set out to achieve.

BG, you've gotten a great positive vibes going around here! I love that! It's so often a sad, emotional, downer of a journey and it's great that you've lifted the morale around here!

ray, there is a list of abbreviations, including IVF-related ones, here: Common Forum Jargon, Abbreviations & Acronyms

I've missed so much so will go back and have another read of everyone's posts. BBL!

Hi BW, no doing a natural cycle. That's ok, will see what the clinic says today. Thanks anyway. How is pregnancy feeling??? Is your DH still going to have varicocele repair??

Thanks, Sushee... yes, it's been hard... it's hard for all of us... but I'm also very realistic in the emotions that someone else's success can sometimes trigger in others. In fact, the most surprising thing that I'm feeling with my success is such intense sadness that I'm leaving so many people behind... I never expected to feel this... mainly because I never really thought I'd get here...

Mel, we're really not sure about the varicocele now... it's all on the back burner for a while!

BG - to repeat what sushee said - you ROCK! You've been there to pick me up so many times... You're really amazing!

Hey BW,
Although i'm intensely envious - it's not in a negative way. I guess, if anything, it's strengthened my resolve and determination. You have done it - we can too. I will miss you, i think you were one of the first people to say hi to me when i first walked into this forum 7 months ago.
I do wonder how i'll feel when it happens to me. I have been trying to get preganant for so long now - i have kind of forgotten that what i really want is to have children and a family. Getting pregnant has become my goal. But i guess i'll get 9 months to sort that out in my mind once i get my BFP

Ellie - any idea when your phone consult will be?
